My wife makes fun of me for how far I park from curbs, etc. I always tell her it is because it only takes once to f'up my $3,500 rims or the crack the front bumper. EVERYTIME she takes the car out I remind her how pissed I'll be if something happens because I have NEVER had an issue myself. Suffice to say she doesn't drive it much because she fears the wrath of me (not really, I fear her more than she fears me actually ).

I've had my stock 19 fixed once and I thought the work was perfect. Your right that the finish will be different as you can't replicate the grooves from tooling and if you look from very very close you can tell but if you stood up and had to pick out the spot I couldn't do it.
